Abstract (en)

The method is executed by a system for service station layout optimization, comprising a central computing unit (2) including an initial data input interface (5) and a processor (3) for generating a first station layout or a first set of station layouts based on input initial data. In order to improve the generation of a layout by integrating feedback from a user community or a potential user community, the system further comprises at least one feedback input terminal (7, 11), wherein the feedback input terminal (7, 11) is configured to receive a station layout or a plurality of station layouts from the central computing unit (2), to visualize such received layout(s) and to receive a feedback input. In order to transform the information that is received by the feedback terminal (7, 11) from the user community, the system (1) further comprises a feedback input translation unit (3.3), configured to create from received feedback input additional data. The central computing unit (2) is configured to then execute an optimization algorithm based on the initial data and the additional data.
